I still think this girl wrote the word herself because she was pissed that he didn't tip her. We had a receipt hoax last year.

***

Whoopsie! For those of you following the story of the Red Lobster server, Toni Jenkins, who was left a receipt with no tip and a racial epithet, it turns out the name of the customer was printed on the receipt, in addition to his signature, and has spread around the Internet. That exposure of confidential information is why the server had to be suspended. The suspension didn’t last through the week; in fact the server is back to her regular schedule, not having missed a day of work. The customer, however, isn’t happy.

The restaurant claims they have their employee’s back. A spokesman told the publication Consumerist that:

We were in constant communication with her over the past several days and have extended her a high degree of respect and caring for what happened. No one should have to endure what our employee went through last weekend.

The customer — now known to be Devin Barnes — also had something to say, but he said it through his lawyer. Attorney Richard Dugger provided NBC News with an apology letter from Barnes that he said was handwritten by the young man. In it, Barnes said he wrote ‘none’ on the ‘tip’ line and signed the receipt, but did not write the racial slur in the ‘total’ category. In his opinion, someone else wrote the slur after he left. He also wrote:

I do not approve of the use of that type of talk, not now or ever!!!

Attorney Dugger added:

Whoever put that on that receipt was very wrong. Just as putting that receipt on the World Wide Internet was wrong. Two wrongs never make a right.

Dugger can be seen in the NBC interview here.

In her own defense, server Toni Jenkins told The New York Daily News that she didn’t intend to harm the guy. She posted the receipt to Facebook for her friends to see — but the danger in that action is exactly what resulted. Things go viral. Now both Jenkins and Barnes have received threats over the incident.

Jenkins added:

I can only imagine what he’s [Barnes'] going through because he’s on the other end. I don’t wish anything bad against him at all … I don’t want anymore drama in my life. I just want to go to work, get the money for a car and go to school … That’s all.

Unfortunately, lawyers are now involved — because one can only assume that Red Lobster felt obliged to call in their own, though they’ve yet to respond to the apology letter. While it would be some kind of happy ending for there to be no more drama, that’s probably not how it’s going to work out. Someone will need, or want, to sort out what really happened, now that two sides have been told. That sorting out could very well occur in a court of law, thanks to the pitfalls of Facebook.

If the rest of us aren’t taking notes yet, maybe it’s time to start.

The 'e' looks similar, but there's just something about the story that still makes me suspicious.

She gave this quote to The Daily Mail:

I don’t get tips all the time. I really don’t care cause God is my provider I don’t worry about tips,” Jenkins told the London paper.

“They were extremely rude, but I introduced myself to them and they didn’t respond. When I came to take their order, they simply told me they wanted their food and to put everything in a to-go box. I offered them dessert but they told me abruptly that they just wanted the check. When I went back to the table they had gone and left the receipt and had written the comments. It’s all very surprising to me.”

Ever think if servers were paid LIVING wages, there wouldn't be a need to depend on tips?

A friend's brother owns about 12 diners, he is very wealthy. This man's lazy wife, who does not work, has a maid and a nanny! She shops and goes to the gym daily.

How about spreading that wealth to his diner workers, no, that would be too easy and decent.

I don't think the accusation is false.

Restaurant servers are not dealing with just one customer. For a customer not to leave a receipt, the server is not likely going to get bent out shape, dwell on it for the remainder of the day, and then return home to falsify a credit-card receipt just prior to having it posted on the Internet. A restaurant server gets no tip -- that server moves on to the next customer.

I believe this was a racist incident.

Anyone who eats in restauratns is an idiot. Even if they aren't malicious, you think they're going to waste food in borderline situations? I only eat from places with very high turnover, like popoular chinese takeout or something, where they barely have time to fill the orders, let alone mess with them, and where you know the food's replaced every day or two.

I can't stand those individuals who believe that you can't be racist against whites.

I lived in New Orleans for some time pre-Katrina. I did my best to frequent establishments where I knew there would not be an issue. But sometimes you don't get to pick the drug store you have to stop by, or there are new hires, or whatever.

I am going to give you one tactic that I saw a number of times during my time there. There were others, but we'll stick with one. This one involves a young African American woman working a cash register at a retail establishment. Another individual, also African American is required to make it work. The second person stands in line, gets to the counter, and proceeds to have a long drawn out conversation with the checkout lady. During this time, she will under no circumstances ring up white people. Heaven help you if you try. Now, if you are black, you go up to her and she will ring you up while she continues her conversation. So a line of white people would start to build. Except if you were familiar with this you said 'Fuck it' and left. This usually only happens when there is a manager on hand who is either down with it or is too much of a pussy to fight it.

New Orleans was the most racist city I have lived in, and I've lived all over the country. The racism went both pays, but let me tell you, the Blacks gave it to the Whites as much as they got it. I will never set foot in that city again. I hated it for a bunch of different reasons.

Sure, we can do a realiy check here. You just named very legitimate, mostly, instances of racism. But on a smaller, more plebian, level many blacks would rather call racism than look at a situation that is not favoring them objectively. After that's pulled so many times the public stops being so concerned when an authentic instanceof racism happens. I work with the public and many times I've had to deal with pricks who think there's an alterior motive for the situation not turning out the way they think it should, and blacks just happen to think it's racism. I had to turn a walk-in away last Tuesday evening simply because we were booked and the gay couple made remark to me that their daughter was refused service because she has two dads. Absolutely not! There quite plainly was no time.

Perhaps this waitress was fearing a complaint from the patron because her service was lacking and scribing the word on the receipt might save her job.

I wish you all would stop feeding the Black Power troll. It's bad enough she's all juiced to see Angela Bassett take on Jessica Lange in American Horror Story: Coven.

The Black Power Troll is white, I'm 100% sure, he's posting as if he's Adam Gadahn or John Walker, both of whom did their pretend I'm a black guy shtick on the internet for a couple of years before they both went off the rails in a big way.

R101= Nancy Drew - still solving mysteries well into her 80s despite being confined to a nursing home. She's still quite the genius.

One way to avoid this...if you walk into a restaurant and the server is not of your race, don't order anything, just leave. Problem solved. No one can say you wrote some slur if there's no paper with your name on it to write on.
